Calcium: the main asset of the coulommiers
The coulommiers is a cheese made from cow's milk, originating from Seine-et-Marne and more precisely from the village of Coulommiers, as the name suggests. It is a soft cheese with a rind of flowers (white and downy). Like all dairy products, the coulommiers provide calcium (approximately 400 mg for a 100 g serving), and this is its main nutritional quality. Calcium is the first mineral found in the body and it is mostly fixed on the bones and teeth when absorbed, to allow them to remain strong. But it also plays a key role in many processes of the body, including cell metabolism and muscle contractions. However, it is interesting to note that the bioavailability of plant calcium (found in many vegetables and cereals) sometimes exceeds that of dairy products. It is therefore important to vary the sources of calcium, especially as dairy products, especially cheese, are a significant source of lipids (including cholesterol and saturated fatty acids ).

The coulommiers contains many minerals
The minerals found in the coulommiers are mainly phosphorus , potassium and, to a lesser extent, magnesium . Minerals, just like vitamins, are vital for cells and therefore for our body. They contribute to the progress of many processes (contractions of muscles, regulation of hormones, stress management ...). Coulommiers are also rich in vitamin A , which, as a fat-soluble vitamin, is present in the fat of cheese. It allows, thanks to retinol and other substances it contains, to have good vision. It also plays a role in bone growth and hydration of the skin.
